5.13 Editing Network Data

To edit networking data, for example adding or removing network
functions or updating port definitions, VLAN IDs, and so on, you
use the Edit button in the
respective screens of the
Networking tab of the Oracle VM Manager user interface.

To go to the Network Configuration and VLAN Groups wizards:

Select the Networking tab in
the Oracle VM Manager user interface.

Select the Networks or
VLAN Groups screen in the
Networking tab to view the
respective management panes.

In addition, you can modify the networking configuration data for
bonds and ports outside these wizards by going into the detailed
perspectives of the Servers and
VMs tab instead of editing the top level network
resources step by step.

The table below describes some specific actions to take when
editing network ports and bonds. You can update the IP address of
ports, and add, remove, and delete bond ports in a network. The
following table describes the methods to use for each type of
network update.

Function

Method

Update IP information for ports

In the Servers and VMs
tab, select the server which owns the port under
Server Pools or under
Unassigned
Servers. In the management pane, set the
Perspective to
Ethernet Ports and
select the port you wish to update. Click
Edit Selected
Port
to update the IP information.

Update bond information

In the Servers and VMs
tab, select the server which owns the bond under
Server Pools or under
Unassigned
Servers. In the management pane, set the
Perspective to
Bond Ports and select
the bond you wish to update. Click
Edit Selected
Port
to update the bond. You can update the IP information
for the bond, the ports which are part of the bond and
the bonding mode.

Add a bond

In the Servers and VMs
tab, select the server for which you wish to add a bond.
In the management pane, set the
Perspective
to Bond Ports and click
Create Bond Port
to create the bond. You provide the IP information for
the bond, the ports which are part of the bond and the
bonding mode.

Delete a bond

In the Servers and VMs
tab, select the server for which you want to delete a
bond. In the management pane, set the
Perspective
to Bond Ports and click
Delete Selected Port
to remove the bond.

The VLAN configuration, in contrast, can only be edited via the
wizard, which is accessible through the VLAN
Groups screen of the
Networking tab.

In the Servers and VMs tab you
can see the VLAN group and associated VLAN IDs for a given
Ethernet port. However, to make changes, for example edit the
address information, you must edit the VLAN group and set a static
IP or DHCP in the last step of the wizard.
